F3 Recall - Chassis reinforcement

[DLewis]

This is a reason why it's GREAT to be a SpyderLover's member. Find out all sorts of things before they are even mentioned at the dealer. Thanks Darren for starting this thread. Contacting dealer today! :doorag: :clap:

Not aware of the brake light wire routing, I will ring 158 Performance in the morning to find out if they know anything about this issue. Thank you for mentioning this to us:thumbup:

I called dealer and part is ordered. I checked BRP site and found no recall.:banghead:

That's because it is not a recall. It is warranty campaign. Safety recalls are for items that may cause injury or death. This problem does not.

Thanks for clarification.

It is greatly appreciated. Some people just dont know. That is the one of the reasons for a forum.

Thanks for the information. My local dealer was unaware and it took him 10 minutes to verify the information. I might have never known except for this forum.

F3 recall

:yes:Thanks for the info,my dealer wasn't aware of the recall because it is so new.He asked if I had received a letter from BRP.I told him no,I found out on Spyderlovers!

Had the new bracket installed today. For anyone who has run wires through the frame holes from the seat area to the rear you will need to reroute them. The reinforcing bracket covers the holes.

All

Your owners manual will show you this.

All F3 2015 are included in that recall.

Billy,
Sorry for the hijack, but is that a Podium trailer that you're pulling?

Bought online from Costco Canada. Delivered to my door direct from the manufacturer. It took about an hour to put together and the instructions were easy to follow.

You may consider importing one yourself. A nice drive to Quebec would fun. Because it is a vehicle there will be some extra hassle and expense crossing the border. Check into that first. But because the US$ increased so much it would be cheap for you. The Costco price for the 18 cu. ft. model that I have is $1,739.99 CAD that would be about $1,250 USD.

F-3 Recall

Just heard news about F3 recall. Chassis reinforcement is needed due to reports of some F3 chassis breaking.
Going to ring my dealer in morning to get some more clarification on issue. Apparently all F3 models are affected.
Would be great to hear from others on this issue.

It appears that all early F-3's have problem, mine included. I have to take mine to dealer for repairs. 500 mile round trip!

As this is not considered urgent, unless you're putting in very high mileages, why don't you simply leave it until your next service? It's not a long job and
your dealer should be able to carry out the job during a service. Mine will be done maybe in May.

Recall

Found my model number on EC Certificate of conformity, mines on list so I will await dealer call.

Hi Darren,
i phoned 158 this afternoon.....they are aware of the problem.
i have booked my spyder for the recall/fitting.
i suggest you give them a bell to get booked in sooner rather than later.
Regards
Pete

 

[vondalyn]

it seems as if they're getting the parts pretty quickly. We're taking both ours in on Saturday.
